Not able to upload assets into Wiki.js which are larger then ~2.6 MB

[fhmbrg]

Specs of my environment

• No use of a reverse proxy
• Current version of Wiki.js: 2.5.299
• Current version of Node.js: 16.20.0
• Current version of PostgreSQL: 11.16
• Operating System: Docker Container (Linux)

Installation method

Using the official guide from here. Only exception is that the host OS is Debian 12 Bookworm.

Changed settings

Administration > Security > Max upload size: 2622000. But this setting is needless as I don't use something then like a reverse proxy.

The above change has no effect on the shown value within the Assets dialog which still states 5 MB

Used file types are mostly PNG files.

Above mentioned issue is present via inhouse and web access. The question is: How/where can I overcome this behavior?

[NGPixel]

The value shown in the dialog is static and won't reflect the actual value. You should still be able to upload larger files up to the limit you set.

Is there a way to change this in the future to reflect the real values from the database? The static text has caused a lot of confusion in the past and has led me (and seemingly other people) to take a look inside the db entry to ensure the settings are stored at all.
If that is not possible, maybe it would be a good idea to prefix or denote the text with "Max 10 files, 5 MB each (by default if not changed)"

@NGPixel thanks for the hint regarding the max filesize value. Do you have any idea why I am limited in uploading assets as mentioned above?

Is there a setting I need to change to solve the mentioned problem. I have already searched the official documentation as well as open/closed issues in the Github repo with no luck.

Take a look at this comment. Does this help you?
Additionally, if that was not clear to you, regardless of whether you are using a reverse proxy or not, you still need to change the setting for max upload size.
